The same precision verification testing has been tested for zesty-
proposed with the same result as X and Y :

[Verificaton zesty]

# i386
- Significant performance increase using the zesty-proposed/i386 package inside 
a 32-bit LXD container build using a Ryzen CPU with Intel SHA Extension 
capability.
- Same performance (as expected) using the zesty-proposed/i386 package on a non 
SHA Extension Intel CPU (i7-6770HQ) with zesty-proposed package.

# amd64
- Significant performance increase using the zesty-proposed/amd64 package on 
Ryzen CPU with Intel SHA Extension capability.
- Same performance (as expected) using the zesty-proposed/amd64 package on a 
non SHA Extension Intel CPU (i7-6770HQ) with zesty-proposed package.

Note : I unfortunately don't (nor colleagues) have access to a Intel CPU with 
SHA Extension capability at our disposal. Ideally, if someone has access to one 
to test it would be good.
Otherwise, I think it is safe to rely on upstream author of the patch who 
confirmed it was working as expected using a Intel CPU with SHA extension 
capability.

"...Myself I tested on Intel processors, yes, with/without...."


Additionally, we also had some feedbacks from 
Justin Erenkrantz, a affected users using a Ryzen/Naple CPU.
